Select Field with Search and Infinite Scroll

[anis-dr]

I’d like to suggest a new feature for the Select component: support for search and infinite scroll. This would be extremely useful for scenarios where the list of selectable options is very large (hundreds or thousands of items).

Feature Details:

• Searchable Select: Allow users to type in a search box to filter the available options dynamically.
• Infinite Scroll / Virtualization: Instead of rendering all options at once, load and render only the visible options, with more options loaded as the user scrolls. This would greatly improve performance and usability for large datasets.
• Async Data Loading: Optionally, support fetching options asynchronously as the user types or scrolls, to handle remote data sources efficiently.

Benefits:

• Handles large datasets without performance issues.
• Improves user experience by making it easy to find and select options.
• Reduces initial load time and memory usage.

Example Use Cases:

• Selecting a country, city, or user from a large database.
• Tagging with a large set of possible tags.

References:

• Similar features are available in libraries like React Select and Ant Design Select.

Thank you for considering this suggestion! I believe it would make OriginUI even more powerful and flexible for complex forms.
